ROLLS' COURT, Dile. 8. CLOSE V. WILBERFORCE. Mr. PEMBERTON stated that this was a bill to compel the defendant, Mr. Wilberforce, son of the celebrated Member of Parliament of that name, to perform the covenants of a lease of certain lands at Kilburn and St. John's-wood, of which l:e was the equitable lessee. For the defendant it was contended that he was only a tenant from year to year. The reply will be pn , ceed,•d with on Monday (this day). COURT OF COOLY ON PLEAS, DEC. 8. PRII)DY V. LEMAN. This teas an action to recay.fr 341. for work and labour done, and materials supplied, brought by a builder against the defendant, who was the landlord of the Phoenix, a public-house near Portman-market. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 341. EXCHEQUER COURT, DEC. 8. SLANDER.-HARBItiON V. BEVINGTON. This was an action by the I:laintiff to recover from the defendant compensation in d.,:mages for the use of slander ous words. Mr. KELLY, in stating the ease to the Jury, said that the plaintiff was a young man who had set up the busi ness of a glue maker, in Bermondsey, about three years since. Prior to that proceeding the plaintiff had been in the employ of the defeniant, who, as it appeared, being much irritated that his former servant should commence business against him, and in so near a situation to him, adopted a system of cor duet with a view to effect his u:timate ruin. The course, therefore, which he had acted upon was the use of slanderou s words, all applicable and calculated to injure the character and the degree of credit in a pecuniary point of view to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. PLATT, on the part of the defendant, dwelt strongly on the fact of there not having been any evidence brought forward to prove injury sustained from the plaintiff's own premises. . _ Lord ABINGER, in leaving the case to the jury, said that they were bound to award damages for such part of the slander as was alleged to have been spoken without having been confidentially demanded. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday William Harvey, a ward patrol of Lang bourne Ward, was committed for trial by the LORD MAYOR, charged with having endeavoured to incite a lad named Edward Marshall Harris to rob his brother, Mr. C. Butler Harris, tea-dealer, Nicholas-lane. BOW-STREET. On Saturday last Mr. Raywood, of the Horse and Groom public-house, in Bedfordbury, attended before Messrs. MlN sfium. and TWYFORD, to answer the complaint of police inspector Musgrove, of the F division, for an alleged offence of keeping open the said house during divine service on Sunday morning, the 25th of November last, contrary to his license, &c. The evidence of a Mr. Gowing, who stated that no other persons than lodgers were there at the time stated by the police, was deemed conclusive of the negative, and the com plaint was dismissed. William Brown, a potboy, was charged by Mr. Hogman, a surgeon, of Coram-street, Brunswick-square, on a charge of brutally ill-using his dog. The MAGISTRATES fined him 405., or fourteen days' imprisonment. MARLBORoUGH-STREET. William Franklin was brought before Mr. Dyer and Mr. Conant, charged with having illegally pawned some articles of wearing apparel belonging to Mr. White, tailor, Regent s treet. The MAGISTRATES fined the prisoner 20s. for illegally pawning, together with the amount of the property ; or, in default of payment, to one month's hard labour. Manuel Trent, a man of colour, was charged on suspi cion of having stolen two valuable copper-plates, the pro perty of Mr. Tatham, artist. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the property, and was ordered to be brought up again in a few days. MA IZYLEBONE. Joseph Chick was charged with assaulting Isaac Weland, an officer of the Court of Requests, in Kingsgate-street, in the execution of his duty. The prisoner was fined 405., or one months' imprisonment. UNION-HALL. Desire Rouselle, the Frenchman who had been accused of attempting to assassinate the soi doisant Duke of Nor mandy, applied to the Magistrates to grant him a certifi cate of his acquittal of the charge. The applicant said that be had applied to the French Ambassador for the means of returning to France, but that his Excellency had refused unless he brought him such a.certificate. The MAGISTRATES said that the applicant had not been ac quitted, but cnly discharged for want of proof. If a certi ficate to that effect would serve him he might have it. Rouselle said that, if he were not sent back to France, he should starve in the streets here, as no one would em ploy him. The BENCH expressed a conviction that the certificate would effect the applicant's purpose, and he retired. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardener's Gazette.) Continue operations out of doors ; for planting, altering, turfing, &c , should be done every opportunity which the absence of frost affords. Take off from Auriculas and Carnations such leaves as turn yellow, and frequently examine, to see that none of the plants catch the drip, so as to wet the soil they grow in. The same caution applies to all kinds of plants in pots and greenhouses. The drip is exceedingly destructive in winter. Where a house can be nrovided on purpose, Camellias may be propagated by budding, grafting, and inarching ; the plants, as well as the stocks, being placed in the house, in a temperature of 55 deg. to GO deg., to start them, be fore the operation is performed. Examine the roots of Dahlias, and any which incline to shrivel or dry much should be immediately potted, and placed in the greenhouse ; or, if there be none, in a room where the frost cannot enter. Ro o ts w hi c h h ave not goo d tuber s are very apt to dry so completely as to prevent their breaking. -,--- morning °wi at theirug to tle severe frost on Friday, the carri ages on the Great West ern R a il way cou ld not travel on Saturday the trains usual speed : i n d ee d, so s li ppery were the rails, th at at Ealing were h t co e u n l d obliged proceed t o throwno further. sand alit)e workmen on the line gravel on the rails, and to wa lk w ith t h e carr i ages f or a very considerable distance.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1838. ~a ~- XRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The leading articles of the Morning Papers to-day consist principally of details of the news from C:Thada. DR2A-DFUL MURDEF., AND ARSON AT THE NEWCASTLE SAVINGS' BANK. (From the IVewcastre Courant of Dec. 7.) Courant Office, Friday Morning, Three o'Clock. This morning, shortly before two o'clock, a fire was discovered in the waiting-room of the Savings' Banks situated at the south-west end of the Arcade, in this town. It speedily destroyed the chairs and other furniture in the room, and two of the large window, vrhich look into Manor -street, as well as the entrance doro from the Royal Arcade. By great exertions, how ever, on the part of the firemen of the Newcastle and North British offices, the flames were got under in a short time ; but no sooner were they so far subdued as to admit of the Savings' Bank being entered, than a most appalling spectacle was presented ; for it was found that some desperate at tempt at robbery, as was supposed, had been made, and that life bad been sacrificed in some terrible struggle which had taken place. The dead body of a man was discovered in the first instance, with his face and head so dreadfully cut and broken as to prevent all chance of recognizing the features ; and then that of Mr. Bolam, actuary of the bank, with his throat cut, and insensible, but still alive, in the south-west Fortier of the room. Being near the annual meeting of the institution, it is conjectured that Mr. B. had remained late at the office, engaged with his banking-books ; and that some person or persons had entered with a view to robbery. Finding Mr. Bolam there, an at tempt seems to have been made to murder him, and he had probably used a poker in self-defence, one having been found on the floor, much bent, and besmeared with blood and human hair.—We had written tlus far, when in formation reached us that it was suspected the dead body was that of Mr. Millie, an assistant to Mr. Bolam. If this should be the case, the horrible character of the transaction is fearfully increased—robbery, murder, and arson, being mixed up in one appalling whole, and forming a body of crime rarely paralleled in the worst page of our criminal his tory.—A messenger has this moment arrived, who knew Mr. Millie well, and, notwithstanding the disfigured state of the features, he expresses little doubt that it is the body of the unfortunate assistant. (From the Second Edition.) We have now ascertained such particulars as leave no doubt that the deceased was Mr. Mellie ; and no thing can be more awful to look upon than the cruel mangling which his head and face have undergone from the bands of his assassin. Mr. Armstrong, of this office, who is cashier of the bank, was the first to enter the premises after the fire had been overcome, in company with Sub-inspector Bell, and while en gaged in examining what mischief had been done, he was suddenly alarmed at striking his foot against the body of a man. Lights having been procured, they per ceived the body was lying face downwards, and on turning it over a sickening spectacle presented itseT to the view. The features were knocked on one side, evi dently with a heavy blow ; the left jaw was broken, two cuts were on the forehead, and at the back part of the bead the skull was laid bare. On further ex amination, they found what they considered the dead body of Mr. Bolam lying near the south-west corner of the bank ; but on being lifted up they ob served signs of life. Mr. P. Glenton, surgeon, was immediately sent for ; and under his direction Mr. B. was conveyed to Mr. Glenton's residence, where Messrs. Nesham and Walker, surgeons, were also speedily in attendance. Mr. Ald. Dunn and Mr. William Woods were likewk e soon at the house, anxiously waiting Mr. Bolam's expected recovery, in order to learn some correct partice.lars of what had taken place up to the time he had lost his senses. 'Between three and four in the morning, Mr. Bolan' was so far recovered as to be able to give some account of the transaction, and we gathered the following, at intervals, from his lips : I have lately bad two or three anonymous letters, threat • ening to do me harm ; and one was put under the door of the saving hank last evening after dark, saying that some thing would happen to me at home. In consequence of this, though I generally get my tea at the bank, I went home, the other clerk, Millie, having previously gone to his tea. I returned about half-past seven o'clock in the evening, and finding the door locked as I had left it, I opened it, and put the key into my pocket. When I got into the bank, I saw Millie lying on the rug, and I thought he had fallen asleep. He also has a key, and sometimes locked himself in. I then went towards my desk, intending immediately to go and speak to Millie, but while I was about to open my desk, I thought I heard some one coming behind, and was in the act of turning round when I received a blow on my right temple from a man in disguise, with his face blackened. I immediately started up, and ran shouting towards the window, intend ing to give an alarm, on which the man followed me, and said if I stirred, or made the least noise, be would serve me as he had served the other man. He struck me again, when I was near the window ; and when I was down, I felt a knife at my throat. Shortly after this I became in sensible for a while; but afterwards my recollection seemed to return, and I heard somebody in the other office, as I supposed, going about and making a noise. I dared not make the least outcry. I burnt the threatening letters which I had previously received. The one which I found last night under the waiting-room door, I left upon my desk. I cannot well describe the man, excepting that I think he was under the middle size, and spoke roughly, but apparently in a feigned voice. I had a few shillings in my pocket, and I think V. 10s. in my desk, which was left by Mr. Airey to deposit on Saturday. In the inner safe I had a further sum of 801. of my own, which I kept to meet current expenses. Further than this Mr. Bolam had no recollection of what took place, and there can be little doubt that his senses would soon leave him from the loss of blood, and suffocation caused by the fire. The poor unfortunate Millie (whose body remains at the bank, awaiting the inquest) after having been on probation for some time, was only fully appointed to the office of assistant clerk of the Savings' Bank at the Meeting of the Directors on Tuesday last. He was a well disposed man, and greatly respected ; he was about 50 years of age, and a widower, with several children. He was formerly a hardwareman in South Shields, having succeeded his father, who was in the same business. We understand the fire was discovered by police man Nathan Golding at twenty minutes to two o'clock ; and other policemen having been collected, they were very active, under the direction of their Superintendent, in giving the alarm to the firemen and turn-cocks, who promptly repaired to the spot. At this moment, two of the large windows fronting into Manor-street were demolished, and the glow inside the waiting-room was so intense as to threaten the upper part of the building (celebrated for its architectural beauty) with destruction. The Newcastle engine was the first to reach the place, and without losing a mo ment's time began to play upon the doors from the in side of the Arcade. The North British followed al most immediately, and quickly reduced the flames in Manor -street, the demolished windows allowing the Water free access into the interior of the building. By the joint exertions of the firemen and policemen, the fire was fortunately confined to the waiting-room in which it originated. Mr. Green, architect, occupies offices imme diately above the Bank ; and above his offices, again, apartments were occupied by Mr. Robson, dealer in lace, the greater portion of whose valuable stock of kiss was removed from the corner shop of the Arcade by the police, and others, to the residence of Mr. Parsons, hair-dresser, where several individuals were readily ac commodated. Another family, who occupied rooms above the Newcastle and NOrth of England Joint Stock Bank, on the opposite side of the Arcade, took shelter in our office. What the design of the party implicated in this frightful business could be, it is difficult to conceive.was a rule that that no money should ever b e k ept i n the bank, it being deposited in the bank of Sir M. W. Ridley and as soon Ls received ; though of cours e thi s might Co.,not be generally known, and the premises may have been entered with a view to plunder. The threatening let ters sent to Mr. Bolam, also, are inexplicable in so far as any attempt at robbery is concerned, for th ey ap pear to have been directed against himself, and to have had little or no connexion with the affairs of the b an k. As to the condition in which the premises were found after the fire, it can only as yet be stated that Mr. Bolam's key s were in the desk, the lock of which was open ; the door of the stone safe was also open, but the inner iron safe was locked, although the key, which Mr. B. said was in his desk, has not been found. The papers and books in the Savings' Bank itself are uninjured ; but those in the stone safe, consisting principally of old account books, are partially burnt. It cannot, however, be as yet positively stated what has suffered from the fire ; but it is expected that nothing is lost which will interrupt the business of the bank further than this dreadful occurrence may itself occasion. In concluding this hasty account of an event which, in a neighbourhood like this—unmarked as the popu lation is by any disposition to commit crimes of a sanguinary nature, almost paralyzes our conceptions of the reality of the occurrence—we cannot but express an earnest hope that the murderer will speedily be discovered, and brought to justice. Committed in the heart of a populous town, almost immediately after night fall, and in premises surrounded by shops, &c., on all sides, the reckless daring displayed by the perpetrator, is only to be exceeded by the enormity of the deed itself. T We gave the above particulars in a Second Edition of The Sun on Saturday. To-day we have received the Neu ! . castle Jourraii, which contains a similar accoun t to that we copied from i ~.Intenvoraty; the Courant. The tg Journal, hovZ-Ver, in Atlit;eu tentaina a detailed Statement of the evidence adduced heforc the Coroner on Friday after noon ; but it differs in no essential particular from the pre ceding report. Amongst other persons whose deposition was taken before the Coroner, on Friday afternoon, was that of Mr. Archibald B darn, the Actuary of the Savings' Bank, who—after the inquest had been adjourned till Wed nesday, in order to allow time for further investigation —was taken into custody, awl is at present confined in the gaol.] LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dxc. 8. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY COMPANY. An injunction was moved fur to restrain the Company from interfering with the turnpike road between Reading and Basingstoke, at the point where the line of the railway crosses the road on the side of 'l'otterdown Hill, near Ba singtoke, until they should have made another road in its stead, as convenient for passengers and carriages as the present road. And that the ascent of the bridge or arch by which the diverted road should be carried over the rail way should not exceed one foot in thirty feet, nor should be more steep than the inclin:ition of the present road. His HoNouß observed, in the course of the argument, on the obscurity so often found in the language of Acts of Parliament, in the penning of which all the common rules of grammar were frequently disregarded. If he found an Act of Parliament dtclared that the steepness of a road should have certain limits, h. , was bound to declare that a road more steep than those limits was not a beneficial road, and comparing the average steepness of the subtituted road with that of the road intended to be forsaken, he did not think the Company were acting .within the limits of their authority. He should, therefore, grant the injunction. MONEY AND CITY NEWS• (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.) CHRONICLE.—The intelligence from Canada re ceived by the Great Western steam-vessel, has given the utmost satisfaction in the City, and has dispelled the alarms of those who put faith in the recent acCotints of the affair at Prescott, and looked forward to a long and sanguinary warfare in our Canadian possessions. The present news is regarded as leaving no doubt that it is all over with the " Patriots," and the manner in which the American authorities on the borders have arrested persons concerned in rendering assistance to the Canadian rebels, i,; looked upon as affording strong grounds for hoping that the province will soon be completely tranquillised. Not vithstanding the intelligence arrived rather late, and occur ng on a Saturday, which is generally regarded as a sort of holiday at the Stock Exchange, Consols. soon became buoyant, and advanced per cent., leaving off firm at 934 tog for the opening, and, indeed, with every appear ance of a further improvement. Exchequer Bills remain :it 645. to 665. premium. In Foreign Stocks business is really so limited, that the variations in the prices are quite unimportant. Spanish Active left off at 16i to s ; Portuguese Five per Cents., -291 to 30 ; ditto Three per Cents., 191 to 20 ; Dutch Five per Cents., 1004 to g ; ditto Two and-a-Half per Cents., 54i to ; Belgian, 1011 to 4 ; Brazilian, 77:1 to 774 ; Danish, 74 to 1 ; Colombian, 252 to 264 ; and Mexican, 23 to A. Shares generally were firmer to-day, and those of the Southampton Railway undertaking, which have partaken of the universal heaviness lately, have rallied considerably, :he old being last marked at 444 to 451 per share, and the new at 192 to 202 prem. Birmingham old closed at 77 to 79 prem. ; ditto, new, 234 to 241 prem, ; Great Western, 10 to 11 prem. ; Leeds and Manchester, 17 to 19 prem. ; Birmingham and Derby, 10 to 8 dis. ; Brighton, 84 to 31 ; Greenwich, 162 to 17 per share ; Blackwall, 2i o dis. ; and Midland Counties, 15 to 14 dis. The commercial accounts from the United States con tinue extremely satisfactory, and no doubt the altered tone of the Government in respect to the Banks and the cur rency has tended materially to give new life and energy to every branch of trade and commerce, more especially as the signal and marked defeat which the candidates of the exe cutive have almost universally sustained in the late elections, in consequence of their opinions being favourable to the' wild set - Imes for a purely metallic currency, is a powerful gua rantee that no further paltry methods will be ventured upon with a view of frustrating the enactments of the Legislature on this subject. HERALD.—A new feature in the mode of conducting a portion of the business of the Bank of England has pre sented itself to the notice of the monetary interests of the metropolis, which has, within the past few days, created considerable discussion. It appears that the Bank of England direction for the first time have is3ued notices at their branch banks, that they will grant loans upon certain securities precisely in the same terms and form as hi 'fierto Las only been adopted at the parent establish ment. There is no doubt expressed that the Bank direc tion, under the present Charter, is entitled to carry out their metropolitan mode of business at their respective branches ; but this new move, this attempt at pushing business, only shows that the large Joint Stock Esta blishments in London must have materially affected the monopoly of the Bank of England, else why this seek ing for new channels of employment for their authorised paper circulation through mediums which, over and over again, have been admitted to be next to profitless to the parent establishment ? Should this attempt to ex tend the monopoly of the Bank of England be fully esta blished, it will have the effect of withdrawing a very large amount of the general commercial discount business of the country from the London market, and therefore has created, as we have said before, not only much discussion, but also i great deal of dissatisfaction amongst the bankers and lead ing discount brokers, who appear to view it as an innovation npon long standing monetary customs and rights. We need merely, for this occasion, add that the forthcoming contest between the joint-stock banks and the Bank of Eng land, during the next Session of Parliament, will be oae of very considerable interest in every class of this great com mercial community, and one that will require and exercise all the talent and vigilant integrity that the Chancellor of the Exchequer can bring to bear upon so very important a question. POST.—The interest created among our commercial men to-day by the intelligence received from Canada, per Great Western steamer, and which the Morning Post has the merit of having been the first of the Journals to com municate to them, was of course very great. The import ant details obtained by this opportunity relative to the progress of the civil war have, in fact, for the time being, entirely superseded every other matter. The determina tion again expressed by the American Executive to maintain the strictest neutrality in the present ease, and to discountenance in every possible way the aggressive interference of their citizens on the border, gives much satisfaction ; and it is but due to the people of the United States to admit, that what has been told us of the " sympathisers" in that direction would appear to have been shamefully exaggerated by the New York Papers opposed to Mr. Van Buren. We have this morn ing heard it declared by a London merchant of the highest respectability who came passenger by the Great Western, that in a very recent journey from St. John's to Baltimore, and from thence to Washington, he met with but one single individual (a dissenting preacher) who showed the slightest hostility to the British authorities, but that, on the contrary, the Americans were everywhere decidedly averse to the Papineau faction, and that the rebellion is purely and exclusively Canadian. TIMES.—One of the boldest and most singular projects to which paper money making has ever given rise, has lately been proposed in France, where it has been received with a certain kind of favour by speculative theorists, if not by the public at large, and if carried into effect may be instrumental in creating a system of paper money on a scale so gigantic as far to eclipse all that has been witnessed in that way either here or in the United States. It is known that the Post-office in France, as here to a certain extent, charges itself with the remittance into all parts of the king dom, to the armies, the colonies, and even to various stations out of it, such as Alexandria, Smyrna, and Constantinople, of small sums of money paid in at the principal or subordinate post-offices. For the consideration of 5 per cent, a mandat, or post-office order is delivered to the party requiring it, payable at sight in any of the localities designated, providing the sum does not exceed 100 francs ; otherwise a previous letter of advice from the Post-office is necessary. The mandat can neither be negotiated nor transferred ; the bearer cannot demand payment after the expiration of two years dating from delivery ; this term expired, the mandat is annulled without prejudice to the rights of third parties, and saving a renewal of the order. Should the amounts not be de manded for the space of eight years after date, they are for feited to the State. With such restrictions, it is but rarely that recourse h as b een b a d to t h e French Post-office for the transmission of funds from one part to another, and in any case only for insignificant sums. On this account, it is said that representations have been frequently made against the exorbitancy of the commission tax of 5 per cent. with hick the service was charged. Under these circumstances, it has been proposed to re duce the commission to a-half per cent., which would secure to the Government, through the Post-office, the monopoly of the transmission of funds from one part to another. This, however, is the least important part of the scheme put forward. It is further suggested that the mandats given out should be allowed to circulate in the same manner as notes to bearer ; to be payable on presentation in the chief towns of departments ; when above 100 francs at one day's sight in the chief towns of districts (arrondissements), and at two days' sight in all other minor post-office establishments. The title or mandat to be available during three years, and afterwards only to be subject to a previous verification, without risk of forfeiture at all. In this manner, it is observed, that real bank-notes (veritable billets de banque) would come to be established in a new shape. These notes it is as sumed would circulate everywhere, and soon replace the use of coin or specie in the greater part of money and business transactions. Supposing that this innovation could be intro cuccd with as much facility as the author ( M. de Lavergne) takes for granted, the results, it is argued, are so manifestly ,idvantageous as not to be mistaken. France, as a Paris Jour- oal rk.marks, is almost the only country in Europe where deep rooted prejudices have hitherto frustrated all attempts to create a paper-money circulation placed on a solid basis ; without speaking of England, almost almost all the German states, and even Russia, have managed to substit ute p a per as an inter mediate agent of circulation fora large po r tion of specie qua_ lified as a "sterile agent," and thus by " si gns" of value less costly contribute directly to the " work of production." It is ll made rather o f franc noi matterio silvero a and gold complaint, old singularly(abootl6oenough, that ,ooo,ooo/ . ) milliards should be requisite in France for the regular routine of coin mercial affairs—an amount which might advantageously be re duced one half, and to which desirable consummation the pro ject in hand, it is said, might powerfully assist. Such is the plan which is now occupying attention in France, where, as has been shown on various occasions under his head, banks and paper money are now of almost every day creation. It may be doubted, after all, whether the combing_ tion thus put forth will be likely to excite the public ap petite in that country for paper money. The Post-office being part of the machinery of Government, paper issued by it, other than for direct realization by individuals, must long be subject to the discredit or prejudice still operating in the minds of the people against paper money of any description, but how much more especially of 'hat which would he essentially a Government paper money, mid therefore more immediately liable to all the odium still remembered and felt against the Government a , signats of former days? For the creation of a paper circulation as such, reposing on the faith of the State, the most deeply -rooted confidence is necessary in the stability of the Government hat is, but in the face of the perpetual changes of forms of igovernmenf and of dynasties for the last fiftyyears nearly, and the 'comparative freshness of the one now at the head of the fiat*, it seems oat of the question that any paper system upon a national sdale could be founded. it would have for rival, too, upon disadvantageous terms of comparison the Bank of France, which, although iri some respects a State Institution, pos.sesse4 th 6 far more weighty guarantee in the public eye of large paid-up ac . oital, and a body of wealthy shareholders ; and this without reference other Joint stock Banks of more recent standing, hut esta blished upon something like the same principles, apart from any +connexion with the State. It is fairly admitted besides, that'could the project be brought to bear, it must cause a complete revolution and consequent derangement in the Post- , office system. It may be assumed, that country post-masters are no better instructed generally, or more capable in France than here. From what is known of the class, therefore, it will readily be conceived how entirely inadequate they would be found to contend, in addition to all their ordinary duties, with the complicated perplexities of money operations, with the immense quantity of correspondence, besides ac counts growing out of them, the confusion arising from which, in the hands of people so unpractised and ignorant, would be interminable. To carry the system projected into effect, it would, therefore, be indispensable to begin with a re construction from beginning to end of the Post-office itself, to place in all the departments, both of town and country, persons of experience in banking, and to convert every country post office into a branch bank. In some of its features the present project bears a strong resemblance to the sub-treasury system lately proposed in di- United States, with this difference, that in the latter the post-office was to be merely a fiscal agent for the ro ceipt and transfer of funds on account of the public treasury from one part of the union to the other, with a view to avoid tte former recourse to banks and bank paper money, whilst the French project contemplates the establishment of a State paper circulation through the action of the Post office in commercial and money transactions of every description in the shape of agency• Not the least embarrassing particular of the scheme would be the accumulation of specie by this means in the public treasury, and the sort of employment or profit which the Government is to derive from the " sterile agent," as it is called. It clearly might contribute to suggest the most ambitious projects and wasteful expenditure. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The provincial papers of France represent the country as overrun by malefactors. The Gazette de Berri states that robberies were daily committed in the farm houses of that district, and the Reparateur de Lyons mentions that all the towns of the adjoining departments were infested with thieves and miscreants. The Memorial Bordelais of the sth inst. announces that a gang of robbers existed in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux, " whose numbers, already considerable, would necessarily increase at the approach of winter." The Bons Sens states that King Louis Philippe having asked M. Thiers his opinion on Spanish affairs, the latter, after allowing his Majesty to expose his own personal views of the question for upwards of an hour, returned this brief reply :—" It was then too soon, it is now too late." " The Ministry," observes the same Journal, " expect no favourable intelligence from Mexico, for the opening of session. The accounts which reached yesterday state that the weather was frightful on the Mexican coast, and that the yellow fever had raged with destructive inten sity on board the blockading squadron. It is reported that France will consent to modify her ultimatum, and refer the question of the pecuniary indemnity to the de cision of a mixed committee. This mode of adjusting the difference by arbitration has been recommended by Eng land and the United States." FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, DECEMBER 8 Five per Cents., 1101: sc. 10c. 15c. 20c.

I.—The position and prospects of parties have much shifted since I addressed you last. The Mode rados, were then earnestly engaged in the organization of a Cabinet, and had all but succeeded in the attempt. Aware of their designs to rule by a fictitious Cabinet, somewhat resembling the last, the Opposition in the Cortes brought on the discussion of the amendment recommending to the Queen a change in the system of Government which has prevailed for some time, and so excited the public mind against the proposed Cabinet that it had entirely to be given up. The Armendaris scheme, may, therefore, be considered as defunct. In consequence of this discussion, and the excited state of the public mind, at the idea of another Moderado Ministry being about to be forced on the people, a step was taken yesterday, after the Session of the Congress was over, for the reconciliation of parties and the calming the angry feelings of the people ; for this purpose six of the leaders of the majority and minority of the Congress assembled last night, and made certain propositions, to which a mutual consent was demanded, with a view to the formation of a Government which might have the support of both parties. These propositions, I understand were the total cessation of the persecution of the Liberal party in Spain ; the raising of the state of seige in all provinces, except those occupied by or in the immediate vicinity of the enemy ; the conti nuance of all persons at present in office, except incapable of performing their duties, or who had rendered themselves remarkable for their hostility to the Liberal party ; and, lastly, the formation of a Government in which no one who had been previously a Minister was to form a part. On these bases being proposed and agreed to the junta sepa rated ; and after having consulted their parties respectively, appointed another meeting for to-night, when it is under stood they will bring their deliberations to a conclusion. It is generally expected that a coalition will be the consequence of these proceedings ; but I am far from thinking that any cabinet growing out of them can or will be permanent. Such a cabinet, in fact, comes into existence with its hands tied up, and afraid of offending one party or the other, will be totally unable to adopt a single measure which the dread ful state of the country demands. The principal feature of interest in the Senate since I wrote last has been the speech of General Oraa, in justifi cation of his conduct in the unfortunate undertaking against Morella. He was then, he said, devoting the remains of a life spent in the service of the Queen and of the country to the compiling of a memoir in justification of a name acquired in a hundred battles, and at the expense of twenty-two wounds. For a considerable time before the siege of Mo rella was undestaken, he had been informing the Government that he was unable, through want of men and provisions, to act on the defensive against an enemy spread over the vast extent of 2,000 square leagues of territory, and had even tendered his resignation. He then detailed the arrangements made for the siege of Morella, particularly with respect to the supply of provisions. From this part of his discourse it was obvious that either the contractors or the Govern ment, or both, had been guilty of the grossest neglect or perfidy. But, on the whole, except the fact of having neglect or perfidy proved by another witness, and that wit ness one of the principal parties in the transaction, there was nothing in the speech of General Oraa worth noticing, Lord William Hervey, Secretary of Legation in Madrid, leaves here this evening for France and England, on leave of absence from his Government. Yesterday, about one o'clook, Mr. H. Southern returned from Paris to Madrid, after a leave of absence, to resume his duties as first attache and Secretary of his Excellency Sir George Villiers, at the British Legation. The French mail has not been received here to-day, being stopped, it is supposed, by the heavy fall of snow in the Pyrenees.—Morning Chronicle. BELGIUM BRUSSELS, DEC. 6.—The Precurseur has the following letter, dated the Hague, Dec. 4 : " You may announce to your readers, that the dismem berment of Belgium is looked upon here as certain. We even hear of the means that will be employed to reduce the Belgians to reason if their patriotism should revolt at an act which offends their self-love more than it will do any prejudice to their interest, for Luxemburg and Limburg are two provinces, the poverty of which forms a contrast with the riches of the other provinces. Among those means the most prominent is the blockade of the Scheldt for a couple of months ; in a word, Belgium will be treated as Holland was two years ago, when King William would not enter into the views of the Great Powers. " Prussia has declared in the most energetic manner, say ing that it never will consent on any terms that Luxemburg shall belong to Belgium ; it has not dissembled its appre hensions of such a neighbourhood. The above is by no means official, but all the ideas expressed on this subject are so uniform that I do not hesi tate to inform you of them, and to predict that in a very few days you will know what you have to expect." We cannot believe accounts given by an individual who appears to take his wishes for reality. We have already proved that the blockade of the Scheldt would be a hun dred times more injurious to England and France than to Belgium. In the Belgian Chamber of Representatives yesterday (the sth), the Minister of the Interior brought up a pro ject of law to the following effect : LEOPOLD, &C. Art. 1. As a temporary modification of the law of July 31, 1831, wheat and rye, and wheat and rye flour, imported into Belgium from the promulgation of the present law to August 15, 1839, exclusively, shall be admitted into the ports of Belgium free from duty of customs, paying only a duty of 50 centimes for 1,000 kil ogrammes. Art. 2. The exportation of potatoes and potatoe flour is prohibited till the same time. Art. 3. The grain and sour mentioned in Art.l, which shall be imported by sea, after the 15th of August, 1839, shall be free of duty except the 50 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes, on proof that the ships have sailed there from the North and the Baltic one month or more, and those from the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff two months or more, before the expiration of the said term. Art. 4. The King may prolong the term fixed by Art. 1, if the Chamber should not be sitting at that time ; this prolongation of the term shall cease of itself if it is not contUli;.?.d by a law % - !thin thirty days after the meeting of the Chambers. _ In the sitting of the 6th the Chambers commenced the discussion of the Budget of Ways and Means.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENER L THE HAGUE, DEC. 4.—Two projects of law were in troduced, one for altering the law on the monetary system of the kingdom, and the other for modifying the existing regulations for the importation of wrought gold and silver. Each of these was accompanied by an explanatory memoir. SIITING OF DEC. 6. The President said it was .vith no little pleasure on this day, doubly memorable to :he country and the Royal family, to inform you that a Royal message bas been sent to the Chamber respecting the proposed marriage of his Majesty's heloved grandson, his Royal Highness the here ditary Prince of Orange, and her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Frederica Matilda, daughter of his Majesty the King of Wurtemburg. The Secretary read the message and the project of law as follow : " We, William, &c.—To all to whom these pre sents shall come, greeting, considering . that the proposed marriage between our beloved grandson, the heredi tary Prince of Orange, and her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Frederica Matilda, daughter of his Majesty the Kiog of Wurtemburg, will promote the happiness of our beloved grandson and the interest of the nation ; and considering Article 13 of the fundamental law, by the advice of the Council of State, and with the concurrence of the States-General,, conformably to the said article of the fundamental law, we have thought fit and re solved, and by these presents resolve, to give our consent to the marriage of our beloved grandson, the Hereditary Prince of Orange, and the Princess Sophia Frederica Ma tilda, daughter of his Majesty the King of Wurtemburg." The law was voted unanimously, and sent to the first Chamber. The Hereditary Prince of Orange arrived on the sth from Stuttgard. EGYPT. Accounts have been received at Toulon by the last packet from the Levant, stating that Mehemet Ali had found, in the events of Candia a pretext for refusing to disarm his fleet, and that he bad despatched seven vessels of war to that island, though everything there was tranquil. According to the last news from Canea Mustapha Pasha was in the village of Acropoli, with 1,000 soldiers, and the Turks and Greeks of the island entertained some apprehensions as to the plans of Go vernment, as they harboured the rebels and facili tated their. escape. The English Consul at Alexan• dretta had removed the British flag from his hotel, and had ceased all communication with the Governor of the town, in consequence of the insult recently offered to the Vice-Consul (not the Corisul himself, as first stated.) It was supposed that some vessels would be despatched from Malta to obtain satisfaction for the affront offered to a consular agent of Great Britain, and that matters would be carried even still further. The Governor of Tripoli, in Barbary, had at length concluded a treaty of peace with the Bey of Fezzan and the other Arab chiefs of the inte rior. The vessels of Admiral Sir R. Stopford's squadron, which had returned to Malta, had been ordered to take in four months' provisions. Their ultimate destination was not positively known, but it was supposed they were to sail for the mouth of the Dardanelles, to be at the Capitan Pasha's disposal, in the event of the Russian fleet from the Black Sea making a movement to approach Constantinople. The National publishes a letter of the 17th ult. from Alexandria, announcing the arrival there of General Ven ture (in the service of the King of Lahore) on the 14th, with his suite. His departure for India was to be post poned for a few days, because the East India Company, requiring all its steamers for the transport of troops to the Persian Gulf, had for the month of November sent only one sailing vessel for the service between Bombay and Suez. A case of plague having been established at Alex andria on the 10th, ships leaving that place no longer re ceis, ed clean bills of health, and it was thought that all vessels arriving from Egypt would be subject to quaran tine on their arrival in Turkey, and to a still longer qua rantine in Greece. According to the last letters the Vice roy was continuing his journey to Sennaar, and had already passed the second cataract of the Nile. A letter from Constantinople, of recent date, quoted by the Augsburgh Gazelle, says—" We are positively assured that the advances towards a reconciliation between Russia and England have been attended with complete success. It is rumoured that the English Envoy to Persia is about to be recalled from Teheran, because all the misunderstanding which has arisen is attributed to his excessive zeal. He is to be replaced by a man of a more moderate character. According to the accounts from Trebisond, M. Duhamel, the new Russian Envoy, is arrived at Teheran." STATUE OF THE LATE DR. VALPT.—We have been favoured by Mr. Nixon with a private view of the statue of the late Dr. Valpy, of Reading School, which he has just completed, under the direction of the Committee of the Gentlemen who received their educatio❑ under this celebrated man, and who, greatly to their credit, have sub scribed most liberally towards this memorial of their own gratitude, and the high reputation of their instructor. The late Dr. Valpy for more than fifty years presided over the Corporation Grammar School of the Borough of Reading. No man was more highly respected in the town of Read ing, or in the counties of Berkshire and Oxford shire than he was : a pious yet liberal divine, a " ripe" scholar, an eloquent preacher, a man of affable manners, of unwearied benevolence, and most extensive charity ; and lastly, a temperate but an unflinch ing and uncomprising Reformer. Of the statue which Mr. S. Nixon has just completed, we cannot say that the like ness is so correct as we could have desired. The sculptor, unfortunately, never saw the deceased, and modelled the features from a bust executed some years back by Mr. Westmacott, brother of the celebrated sculptor, and from a painting by Ople. He has, under the circumstances, done all he could do in producing a likeness. As a work of art, the statue leaves nothing to be desired. It is cut from a solid block of Yorkshire free -stone, and is in the details exceedingly classical and chaste. It is to be placed in the Church of St. Lawrence at Reading, an edifice from the pulpit of which the eloquence of the deceased, has, on numerous occasions, aroused the apathy and excited the Christian feelings of many an admiring congregation. MORTALITY IN THE TOWER.--A writer in the Morning Chronicle says—" I live within half a mile of that mud-begirdled sink, and I will make oath that. I have my self seen, within the last ten weeks, five funerals pass of men belonging to the Rifle corps, and one occurred when I was absent. Further, at the time of the last funeral, I stopped one of the Rifles, and asked him the cause of so many deaths occurring in his regiment ; he replied that it was owing to dampness, bad air, and the general unhealthi nr ss of the Tower. There is evidently some motive for concealing these facts, for the inhabitants of the neighbour hood have noticed the mortality, and been surprised at its non-appearance in any of the public papers. I have been told by inhabitants of the Tower, that occasionally they cannot open their windows on account of the stench pro ceeding from the ditch." QUEEN'S STAG-HOUNDS IN SURREY.—A nu merous field of well-mounted horsemen, with a superior turn-out of carriages filled with a fair sprinkle of beauty and fashion, graced the meet on Thursday morning on Ep urn Downs. At the appointed hour a noble stag was uncarted, and made for Walton-heath, followed, as usual, by a lot of dear hunters ; but it was only' for a minute, they were soon in their proper places, as much behind as they had been before, and at Walton-heath the field had few forward riders, and on descending the hill by the Chalk-pits, by Mar gery-grove, and Gatton, the view of the country was mag nificent, as the hounds kept stealing over a fine deep fencing country, by Reigate, and bending on by the wind mill towards Red-hill, not half-a-dozen with the hounds, until the deer took soil in May-pond, on the common ; this enabled a few stragglers to get up. Davis let the hounds slip, and over they went, as if for Horley, but the country was so deep, that few could keep the pace, and when they did a stopper, in the shape of an overflowing river, let the hounds have it all to themselves, after that few could live with them. The take was at Godstone, after one of the most severe chases, and from the deep state of the country, the most difficult to keep up with the hounds we ever re membered. A paragraph taken from a Limerick paper, is now going the rounds of the press, stating that the eldest son of the Earl of Fitzwilliam has become a Conservative. Of course the individual alluded to can be no other than Lord Milton, the present expected Liberal Member for the bo rough of Melton ; and should the rumour prove to be well founded, we are quite sure that this will prove a source of regret to many of his constituents. Wt• trust, however, , that it way turn out to he " (me of the hes of the day."— York Courant. SPORT IN Ci INTELLIGENCE LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
